Warne Maxima 2-Piece Base Mauser Small Ring 96 Altered Matte

The Warne Maxima 2-Piece Base for Mauser Small Ring 96 Altered rifles delivers a solid, low-profile mounting solution built on the proven Weaver-style design. If you're mounting a scope on a classic Mauser platform and want bases that won't compromise the rifle's lines, these matte-finish steel bases keep things compact while providing the bearing surface your optic needs for reliable performance in the field or at the range.

What sets Maxima bases apart is their full-width recoil slot, designed to work with Warne Maxima QD Rings and distribute recoil forces across the maximum bearing surface. That engineering matters when you're dealing with magnum calibers or demanding hunts where you can't afford shift or creep. The low-profile footprint also means you can still use your rifle's iron sights by looking over the top of the bases—a practical advantage if you want a backup sighting system without changing your shooting position.

These are two-piece bases, so you'll need matching Warne rings to complete your setup. The matte finish blends with vintage and modern Mauser builds alike, and the steel construction is built to last. Whether you're setting up a classic hunting rifle or a tactical build on Mauser small-ring receiver, the Maxima bases provide the foundation for a stable, repeatable scope mount.
